The Six Stages of Scandal
This old chestnut works for any political scandal and for this impeachment (Hat Tip to Mickey Kaus)
Stage 1: It can’t possibly be true.
Stage 2: It’s not true.
State 3: You can’t prove it’s true.
Stage 4: Why are you trying to prove it’s true?
Stage 5: It’s disgusting that you’ve proved it’s true.
Stage 6: What’s the big deal anyway?

So far, we are still on stage three. So far all I have heard is gossip and innuendo. Besides, I am not convinced that even if there was a quid pro quo that it would be illegal for the president to engage in that as part of his regular administration of foreign affairs.

Well, the one thing we know for sure is that perjury and obstruction don't constitute high crimes and misdemeanors.

+1: "I can't believe that my political opponents have stooped to such petty personal attacks."

Stage 1: It can’t possibly be true.
State 2: You can’t prove it’s true.
Stage 3: Why is Eric Ciaramella trying to prove it’s true?
Stage 4: It’s disgusting that wikiLeaks proved it’s true.
Stage 5: I'll never be impeached for it cause my predecessor wasn't.
